Beehive Missile Unit
When a long range heavy assault is needed from numerous
zoids the republic turned to the Beehive missile unit.
Named for its hive like cluster of missiles this part
can be cheaply manufactured in large numbers, and
equipped to small zoids.
Boasting nine general purpose missiles and seven long
range heavy missiles, the beehive when used in large
numbers can decimate enemy forces and instalations.
Its design was originally intended for the barrigator
which has a low to the ground body design making the
added weight of the beehive a non issue. However if
necessary it can also be equipped to the command wolf.
The prototype however had a tendancy to break off under
its own weight thus the production model pictured
on a barigator here has an added support brace that runs
the length of the zoid's back and is bolted deep
into the armor.
Early the war against the Guylos empire the New-Helic
republic used the beehive to counter the empire's mass
molga assaults and later was used to defend instalations
where the prototype Gojulas was in developement.
